\"WRMI\"<\/a>(Source: WRMI<\/a>\u00a0press release)<\/p>\n

OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA, USA \u2013 America\u2019s most powerful radio signal will carry previews and highlights of some of the world\u2019s top sporting events throughout 2015. WRMI (Radio Miami International) will provide exclusive shortwave coverage from the USA for more than two dozen leading events in sports, including hockey\u2019s Stanley Cup finals, baseball\u2019s World Series, football\u2019s Super Bowl and international tournaments involving soccer, cricket and rugby.<\/p>\n

WRMI sports director Bruce Baskin provided daily reports on last weekend\u2019s Army-Navy football game (won by Navy, 17-7) and is presently providing updates on soccer\u2019s Club World Cup, which features seven of the globe\u2019s top sides converging in Morocco. \u201cThis will be different from our WRMI Scoreboard,\u201d says Baskin. \u201cRather than giving scores and short stories from several sports per day, we\u2019re going to focus on specific events for days at a time. In essence, we\u2019re going from a \u2018miles-wide, inches-deep\u2019 approach to the opposite.\u201d<\/p>\n

After purchasing and moving to the former Family Radio broadcasting site in central Florida one year ago, WRMI now possesses twelve 100,000-watt transmitters (with a 50,000-watt backup) along with 23 antenna systems on a 660-acre complex, making it America\u2019s farthest-reaching radio station. WRMI first signed on in 1994 and has been managed throughout its duration by Jeff White, a past president of the National Association of Shortwave Broadcasters.<\/p>\n
